BP 165 over 109

[southpaw]

Mines always hight at CVS but good when the doctor takes it.

Hypertensive, normal bp is 120/80, get with your Dr and he can evaluate your reason for your current condition. Don't wait give them a call this week.

[FCTrapper]

Going back to town after lunch an go to Walgreens and check it. Then to Dr if its higher than normal.

That's very high - might want to get it checked, but it could be "white coat hypertension". This a pretty common phenomenon where some people's BP gets jacked up in a clinical setting. For some reason mine is always high when they take it at the start of a doctor's appoointment, but they check it again before I leave and it's back to normal. Were you stressed or nervous about the dental procedure?

Probably this /\ but get to the doc and have it checked. And, don't let them rush you into the exam room sit you down and start checking. Take a few minutes to calm yourself--and if the doc says you need BP meds, listen to him/her. High BP is bad for you-whether marginally high for years and years, or just plain high for short periods.

Be careful. What type of instrument did they use to check your BP at the dentist office? My BP is always high at the dentist office because they use an electric cuff, but when I go to the doctor office it is always spot on and they use the BP cuff ans stethoscope.

4 cups of coffee might do it along with skiddishness of a dr visit and issues with how the assistance taking the bp transpire...outside of all that...that is not a good bp to say the least....

any red bull or otherwise?

You Need to just run by your DRs..Those machines are not very accurate...And Dang sure not worth betting ur life on it..

What's going on??

Age
Diet
Heredity
Physical shape and conditioning
Sleep Apnea
etc
etc
etc

The list is long long long and so many variables come into play. If you have a fat rich diet....sugar rich diet...salt rich diet etc etc, it all rolls up into heart health as we age....couple this with next to nil in physical exercise with a HUGE DOSE of mental fatigue and stress, a family history of hypertension = a story heard coast to coast for all men in MODERN DAY AMERICA.

Go get checked.....and I recommend.....get checked every year now. Once you start plugging numbers like that....Doctor, Dentist visits...it doesn't matter....you need to have it all checked.

[Roscoe]

Headaches, vision changes and shortness of breath. Headaches past week or so. Thinking it was allergies.

If you are saying you've had these three "symptoms" recently and now the high blood pressure check...skip the walgreens and go see your doctor.

Oil Companies on the ranch cause high blood pressure. Ask Roy what happened to his.

[Jeremy7306]

I work on an ambulance, and if you were my pt and I got
This I wouldn't be too awe fully alarmed. It's not what I would consider extream hypertension or anything. Yes it's a little
High, but I've seen a lot worse. Not saying at all that ya don't need to make a dr appt and see why it's higher than normal, but I don't see this alone as a huge emergency. Any other symptoms? Dizzy, headache, nausea, etc??

[Booger74]

Do you like going to the Dentist? Get it checked out.

Fixing to use his machine. Heading there now.

Yes! Any machine is not very accurate. The
Most accurate Bp is takin by a trained person manually.
